The Clinical Research curriculum represents the first and, so far, only master’s program in Italy aimed at equipping students with the comprehensive knowledge necessary to perform essential and prominent roles in the field of clinical trials (such as Data Manager, Clinical Research Associate, Clinical Research Coordinator, etc.).
The course requires students to acquire an in-depth understanding of the principles of clinical research and development, as well as the methodological aspects needed to ensure the validity of the data generated.
Students who choose the clinical research curriculum will also gain a general knowledge of regulatory matters, which is essential for navigating the complex authorization procedures involved in clinical trials of medicinal products for human use.
The program will thoroughly discuss the main characteristics of a correct quality system applied to clinical trials to guarantee data reliability as required by Good Clinical Practices.
Additionally, the curriculum in clinical research provides comprehensive knowledge in pharmacovigilance, regulations concerning medical devices, pharmacoeconomics, clinical trial monitoring, ethics in clinical research, pharmaceutical company organization, key roles and activities within a medical department, and digital therapies.
The uniqueness of this curriculum is further enhanced by the distinctive composition of the faculty, which includes numerous professionals with direct experience in clinical research and the pharmaceutical sector, as well as support for post-graduation placement.
Placement and Work
Notably, data from Almalaurea over the past four years shows that 100% of our Biotechnology graduates report being engaged in paid employment or training activities three years after graduation.
Even more remarkable are the placement results for students of the Clinical Research curriculum, with almost all securing paid employment within a few months of graduation!
